I am new to Lojban and find it a fascinating concept. This is my first time posting to this group. I have also have a question. What are the Lojban translation for various political terms. The reason I ask is that "conservative" in Russia means a very different thing from "conservative" in the United States. Likewise, Thomas Jefferson was considered a "liberal" in his day even though his views would be VERY different those of from someone like Teddy Kennedy. Today, many would say Thomas Jefferson would be closer to being libertarian than either conservative or liberal. I would think that a logical language such as Lojban would have more precise words for these ideas. Thank you! Ryan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?
